New Delhi: The recently released book called ``Unknown Facets of Rajiv Gandhi, Jyoti Basu and Indrajit Gupta’’ written by former CBI director Dr A P Mukherjee has added fuel to the already ignited issue of party funds.
Based on his conversations with Rajiv Gandhi in June 1989, Mujherjee claims that Rajiv Gandhi, the then prime minister, wanted the commissions from defence suppliers to be added with more funds and be used for "inescapable expenses of the party".

However, Rajiv Gandhi's party lost elections the same year after the Bofors scandal. The book says, "Rajiv Gandhi was very clear that commissions paid as a routine by most defence dealers should be properly accounted for and not siphoned off by dishonest officials of the armed forces and politicians...he wanted such payments to be pooled and accounted for.This (elections) leads to massive fund collections by important party functionaries all over the country, which leads to an almost unbreakable unholy quid pro quo nexus between unscrupulous party functionaries, ministers and businessmen. I could sense this as the party's general secretary or even as its youth leader earlier when I had to enter the political arena with considerable reluctance’’.

Mukherjee says that Rajiv had discovered that some senior officers of the armed forces were involved in secretly collecting commissions while purchasing arms and ammunitions with help from some ministers, middlemen and civilian officers.Hence, a solution was thought in order to disconnect this link between the middlemen, ministers and bureaucrats. Also, he wished to end government’s relation with those dishonest businessmen and politicians.

Rajiv’s some of the most trusted colleagues suggested to him to ban commissions but the commission received during major arms deal by the suppliers to be pooled in and used for party funds. Rajiv endorsed the same idea.While Mukherjee served as the additional director to CBI, he maintained a diary of these conversations but making them public would have meant breaching the trust of Rajiv Gandhi which he never wished for.

"However, at this distant time and that too long after his tragic death, I owe it to posterity to narrate the full and complete disclosure of all that transpired between the two of us during this memorable coffee meeting with this remarkable human being whose trust I was privileged to receive in ample measure."

Money from defence suppliers should be used for party funds said Rajiv Gandhi: Ex-CBI chief
 
Go ahead dick...and who are these 'other posters' send them down too. You're a MORON. 


She isn't exactly a classical singer. SHe has sung mostly bollywood songs.


That is not a discussion point. The point is that she is very respectable celebrity. She has sung the songs in so many regional languages and lots of classical songs also. She is pride of India. She is totally non controversial. We should respect her.
 
shoo away bitch...

Shoo away faggot

So saying Amartya Sen has greater contribution is 'disrespecting' her? His standing is equal to John Forbes Nash and Merton/ Scholes. His work founded entire areas of economics that will be studied for centuries in every major university. And we should somehow put that down coz he won't vote for Modi?

Amartya Sen is nowhere near them. They are stalwarts. Getting a nobel alone is no measure of how good you are today. Obama and Arafat also got Nobel prizes. So lets leave Nobel aside. Actually Amartya Sen's contribution to my life is as much as my dog's morning poop.

When I said that? And mind you you compared them in a manner to give an impression that Lattaji is nothing compare to him. And his work is not at all founded on entire area of economics. He didmn't gave any new economic principle. He only advocated socialist adea in economics.

He can neither vote for Modi nor Rahul since he is not an Indian citizen.

He is a celebrity and he should take care that he do not talk nonsense. If he says that he want to see Rahul or somebody else a prime minister, I do not have any problem but when he says that I do not want some body to be a PM, it is undemocratic. People vote some party to make somebody prime minister but there no provision to vote to restrict somebody to become a prime minister.

Dude seriously, it is VERY fashionable to say that the nobel is 'easy to get' but not. True for Nobel PEACE prize there have been very controversial decisions. But in medicine, physics and economics they are at least at the very leading edge of their fields. Developmental economics as purported by Amartya sen may not be acceptable or agreed upon by many people (since it's also fashionable to reject anything with socialist overtones), but it is still a very very important corrective/ way of looking at things.
 
Not many (including myself) have heard about Amartya Sen before that Nobel thing happened to him. Can you say the same about Lata Mangeshkar?

Amartya Sen got Nobel because he married Emma Georgina Rothschild who is a member of the the Rothschild banking family of England and is a trustee of the Rothschild Archive ....
 
Was talking to an ex Senior Naval Officer who used to manage major weapons projects for the Navy as part of his responsibility. He said, it is a common knowledge within the defense establishment, there was a percentage commission from defense dealers which goes to various political parties (mind it - not just ruling party - even the commies) helping them run their parties. He said the practice started in the early 1970s when the fear of nationalization of various large private enterprises by Indira Gandhi saw a reduction in election funding for the Congress from those enterprises.
